So how to generate new ways of thinking?
A 9 or 10 km walk should do the trick..... alone and every day
Brenda Ueland describes the type of walking to be undertaken " when I walk in a carefree way, without straining to get to my destination, then I am living in the present. And it is only then that the creative power flourishes" She goes on to describe that "it is hard to be carefree when you have anxieties. But the more you have, the more necessary it is to feel carefree for a time, so that you will get new ideas on how to deal with your anxieties"
"If you would continue to be alone for a long time, amblingly swinging your legs fro many miles and living in the present, then you will be rewarded: thoughts, good ideas, plots for novels, longings, decisions, revelations will come to you" and she can absolutely prove it in her book If you want to write.
